Squid Research Lab here, and we’re bringing some surprising news! Like a phoenix rising from the proverbial ashes, we can confirm a bonus Splatfest is on the way! And much like the previous metaphor, it involves a bird and a where it comes from, specifically, chickens and eggs. Yes, it looks like Team Chicken and Team Egg will once again return to the Turf War arena to crack this classic conundrum!

Get ready to pick your side when this 48-hour Splatfest begins 8/21 at 3pm PT!

And be sure to stay fresh SRL readers, because we hear two more bonus Splatfests will be making an appearance before the end of March 2021! Or maybe the fax machine is just acting up?

The bonus one-off Splatoon 2 Splatfest is almost here! Will you make moves in a major way with Team Mayo, or turn back the clock and claim the crown with Team Ketchup? Pick a team in-game today! The action starts this Friday, 5/22 at 3pm PT, and goes until 3pm on 5/24.

WRONG ACCOUNT!

Random bits of official art I've been digging up!

We’ve received a special message from our International Squid Research Lab, who are wishing us a happy “White Day”. Apparently this gift-giving holiday involves the exchange of a diminutive train conductor? Curious!

[tea-errors]

The Squid Research Lab has been made aware that it is “Caturday”. To celebrate this curious ancient holiday, we’re sharing this furry photo of Judd and Li’l Judd. Which one is cuter? You be the judge.

While we here at the Squid Research Lab wouldn’t necessarily describe the sights, sounds (and smells) of the Deepsea Metro as “romantic”, Agent 3, Agent 8, and Cap’n Cuttlefish would nevertheless like to wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day!
